Pakistan police arrest former PM Imran Khan in GHQ case
Rawalpindi Police on Tuesday arrested former Pakistan PM and cricket icon Imran Khan in GHQ attack case pertaining to May 9 mayhem.
An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Rawalpindi had summoned the PTI founder, who is already behind bars in cipher and grafts cases, in May 9 cases on today (Tuesday), Geo News reported.
The former Pakistan PM attended the proceedings of the court via video link as he could not be produced in the court by Adiala jail authorities due to security reasons.
During the hearing of the cases, RA Bazar Police Station officials sought physical remand of the PTI founder in May 9 cases, however, ATC Judge Malik Aijaz Asif turned down the request, the newspaper reported.
The ATC judge even asked the police to interrogate the PTI founder in Adiala prison.
In May last year, Khan's supporters resorted to violence and ransacked military installation incuding GHQ in protest against the arrest of the party chief in graft case.
